- Akira: [holding a knife to Limehouse's neck] Stay away from the Saito family. They don't know anything about the Van Atta neckalace. If you don't, I promise you, you will pray for death.
- Lt. Anderson: [discussing the massacre] There's something else that's even more puzzling. There's a rumour that the assassin was wearing a black oriental costume with a helmet and a sword. Do you believe that? Some mention that it could have been a, uh, ninja. Mr Saito, you're from Japan. Do ninjas still exists?
- Akira: Ninjas? No, of course not.
- Takeshi Saito: Dad, he must be watching too many ninja movies.
- Lt. Anderson: That's what I thought. Well, goodbye Mr Saito. I wish you and your family every success over here.
- Lt. Anderson: Oh, uh, just one more thing. If you run across that ninja, tell him that the police department don't want to see him in this area again. Okay?
- [tosses him a throwing star left at the massacre scene, revealing he knows it was Akira]
